Chapter 108 - 23 Dark Techniques "Devil’s Eye
The man was tall and slim, with slightly curled short brown hair and a pair of gold wire glasses perched on his prominent nose. His eyes were filled with affection as he gazed at the girl from the Southern Country by his side.
"I’ve waited five hundred and thirty years for this day," the girl said, her cheeks brimming with a smile, her voice sweet and glutinous, characteristic of the women from the Southern Country.
After the giant Devil Crystal shattered, it transformed into a diamond-shaped crystalline body, falling into Yue Jinghua’s hands, "You’ve broken the curse of the Dan Demon Tomb, freeing the hundred thousand people of the Southern Country. The Southern Country is barren and desolate now, and I have nothing to repay you with. This is the parent body of the Devil Crystals, usable for cultivating Devil Crystals, please accept this as my modest token of appreciation."
Once again reunited with his beloved, Luolin regained his refined scholarly demeanor, and he leisurely recounted the entire sequence of events related to the aberration at Dan Demon Tomb.
Five hundred and thirty years ago, at the critical moment of Luolin’s breakthrough to become a Holy Beast, Fengling was killed by the ignorant Southern Country villagers. In his fury and rage, Luolin was backfired upon by his Heart Demon, leading to a grave mistake.
"After Fengling died, I felt disoriented and days felt like years. In my mind, as if someone kept repeating the sins of the Southern Country people and Fengling’s manner of death, lingering persistently in my thoughts. Eventually, I used the Devil Crystal, and within a few days, poisoned a hundred thousand villagers. Moreover, I imprisoned their souls and Spiritual Senses within the Dan Demon Tomb. Engulfed in resentment, I gradually descended into the path of demons," recalling the past, Luolin sighed deeply, his lover Fengling nestled by his side, softly consoling him.
"Luolin, you needn’t feel guilty, the Heaven and Earth Laws dictate that every cause has its effect. The Dan Demon Tomb, after today’s ordeal, it will turn skeletons to spring mud and blood to nourish all things. In a few decades, it will gradually return to the once beautiful South Country Eighteen Towns," Yue Jinghua said, beneath her feet, the skeletons mixed in the soil, Cannibal Green Rush stretching its green head, swaying its plump leaves beside, gnawing on a bone, crunching and crunching.
Comforted by Yue Jinghua’s reassurance, Luolin eased a lot of his burden. He and Fengling looked at each other, and Fengling nodded gently.
"My friend, Canglong Continent is a wondrous land, hiding many mysteries not seen in the 23rd century. In this era, science has lost its potency. Your soul is already mighty enough, but your Cultivation is not yet sufficient to face your future. I will gift you my Life-bound Dark Skill, ’Devil’s Eye’. Practice it thoroughly, it will aid your future," Luolin placed his finger on Yue Jinghua’s eyes.
Her eyes prickled as if needled, within Yue Jinghua’s pitch-black pupils, something seemed to be slowly growing, itching slightly.
